# Batch operations

Edit, move, or delete many entries at once in Remote Desktop Manager with batch operations to apply consistent updates across a vault.

Batch operations in Remote Desktop Manager speed up large-scale changes by editing many entries in a single action. Select multiple items in a vault to apply consistent updates to common properties such as linked credentials, tags, VPN settings, and other metadata; or to move and delete entries in one step.

By reducing repetitive edits, batch operations save time, minimize errors, and help maintain uniform configuration across your environment.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/concepts/intermediate-concepts/batch-operations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
